Unfortunately, it’s also possible that the Device Manager won’t even recognize your discrete GPU and will instead only show the properties of the integrated one. The text will show “Enable device” if the GPU is disabled
You can also choose ‘Enable device’ by clicking on your GPU to fix the problem. This way, you can troubleshoot the issue “from the inside.” Enabling The Graphics CardsĪt that point, your first step should be to go to Device Manager, find your GPU, and check if it’s disabled. You can simply switch your monitor to that output (which you can find on your motherboard’s backplate, next to every other device input such as USB or PS/2). Sometimes, it doesn’t come back online and leaves you staring at a black screen.įortunately, most modern CPUs (excluding Ryzen) come with an integrated graphics card. If you’re playing a particularly graphically intensive game, your GPU could overheat and temporarily shut down.
It can also happen for seemingly random reasons, but the truth is that there’s an explanation for everything that happens on your PC, and this is no exception. Admittedly, this shouldn’t happen very often, but it illustrates the point. This problem can occur for several reasons, but it’s very annoying when Windows automatically switches to the integrated GPU without you noticing it until you try to play a game. Please Note: If your graphics card is inside of your PC but no drivers are installed or the drivers are not functioning correctly, you may not be able to access the NVIDIA Control Panel.GPU Not Detected In Windows It would be a shame if your PC build looked like this but was unable to detect your GPU Scrolling down will reveal the Device ID and Part Number The right panel lists important details about your GPU including the display driver version currently installed, the amount of video memory onboard, the video BIOS version of your GPU, etc. In the example below, the notebook is powered by a Quadro 5000M GPU. The left panel lists all of the NVIDIA GPUs currently installed in your PC under Items. The System Information window resembles the image below. This will bring up the System Information panel. This will launch the NVIDIA Control Panel.Ģ) From within the NVIDIA Control Panel, left-click the System Information link on the bottom left hand corner. If your PC features an NVIDIA based graphics card and is using an NVIDIA display driver, you can identify the model of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in your graphics card by accessing the NVIDIA System Information section of the NVIDIA Control Panel.ġ) With your mouse, right-click the Windows desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel as shown in the image below.
